After answering the phone, Xie Zhuzhou paused for a few seconds before calmly saying, "Then let's go for it. Install more surveillance cameras on the island. If the budget isn't enough, put the fake ones in obvious places and hide the real ones. We don't need full coverage, but at least put in as many as possible to ensure the safety of the other guests. Oh, right, it'll be live-streamed the whole time. You handle those things."
Director Wang: "..." No, Young Master Xie, shouldn't you be ensuring your own safety?
"Prepare more drones as well; you don't need to worry about security."
He's really a brilliant capitalist, letting his bodyguards go on vacation to an island.
"I reserved four spots for your investment company. Too many would give us away, and other companies also chose to pay to participate... The remaining dozen or so seem to be young masters from your wealthy circle."
A total of 25 people participated, and the show is still in its promotional period, yet it's already generating so much buzz...
Director Wang became increasingly nervous as he spoke, while Xie Zhuzhou reassured Director Wang on the other end of the line, "You don't need to worry too much. Those young masters all have bodyguards; nothing will happen to them."
Director Wang smiled bitterly. He wasn't worried about what would happen to those people; he was worried about Xie Zhuzhou getting beaten up. After all, Young Master Xie was so hated, and he didn't know Young Master Xie's background or whether he could fight back.
"The list will be finalized soon, would you like to take a look?"
"No time, I have to hang up now."

Xie Zhuzhou can now answer the phone in front of his wife. Although the saying goes that if you can't have something, you should take it, his wife comes to him without him having to fight for her, which makes him soften.
The two were unexpectedly sent to the countryside to pick strawberries by Wen Shuming today.
"This was actually planted by Brother Wen's father! That's amazing!" Xie Zhuzhou thought that although their family had a large place, they only grew flowers and plants, not such lovely fruits.
"This is a vegetable greenhouse." Chu Yanzhang had never been here before and found it quite novel. " Brother Wen wanted to send the two of us here to do hard labor."
Xie Zhuzhou thought Wen Shuming was amazing; he actually knew what novel things Wen Shuming liked. He wanted to recruit such a talent.
"It's alright, I can still carry this much stuff, it's not hard labor." Xie Zhuzhou had inexhaustible energy, although he had Internal Energy, he had nowhere to use it. After all, this was a society governed by law, where would he find so many people to hunt him down?
It's not like they're chasing us every day, it's just every few days.
One of them stood looking around, while the other squatted down picking strawberries.
Xie Zhuzhou remarked with emotion, "I always thought strawberries grew on trees."
Chu Yanzhang looked up at him, "I thought so too..."
Xie Zhuzhou, now carefree and cheerful, was so handsome that Chu Yanzhang couldn't take his eyes off him.
When Xie Zhuzhou laughs from the heart, he reveals two adorable little tiger teeth.
Chu Yanzhang couldn't help but laugh too, " Zhouzhou, you're so beautiful."
Xie Zhuzhou was caught off guard by his wife's praise, his face flushed slightly, and he picked up a basket, thinking of somewhere else to secretly rejoice.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yanzhang slowly stood up and approached him. Xie Zhuzhou thought he had something on his face and the other party was going to help him remove it.
Suddenly, his lips touched something soft, and then immediately parted.
" Zhouzhou, I like you so much."
"Y-you-you..." Xie Zhuzhou's mind went completely blank for a moment. He had been ambushed!
" Zhouzhou, this is my first kiss. I originally wanted to wait two months, but I think I couldn't wait any longer. I'm sorry." Chu Yanzhang lowered his head and apologized, looking pitiful on the surface, but in reality, he regretted not kissing her longer! He was such a coward!
Xie Zhuzhou gradually turned as red as a boiled shrimp. Hearing Chu Yanzhang say it was his first kiss, his heart trembled slightly, and his voice became a little hoarse as he said, "You... I, I was too! Everyone's first kiss..."
Chu Yanzhang paused for a moment, his eyes darkening, his Adam's apple bobbing. He took off his gloves and pulled the person into his arms with one hand.
Xie Zhuzhou was speaking when he suddenly felt his body being pulled into a broad and strong embrace. He tilted his head back, and his unfinished words were drowned out by a sudden kiss. A cool and soft touch, with a faint fragrance, slowly pried open his teeth and invaded his territory. It was an awkward yet lingering deep kiss, gentle yet restrained.
Xie Zhuzhou had never thought things through when it came to things lovers would do; he was a dreamer. Chu Yanzhang, on the other hand, appeared to be an indecisive man, but was actually a pragmatist.
After an unknown amount of time spent entwined, Chu Yanzhang finally loosened his grip slightly. He struggled to control himself, his voice hoarse and low as he whispered, " Zhouzhou, breathe..."
Feeling a tingling sensation all over his body, as if he were walking on clouds, Xie Zhuzhou gasped for breath after gaining his freedom. His eyes were red-rimmed and misty, and his mind was still blank.
"Why are you stealing again..." Xie Zhuzhou was truly exasperated. He was the one who should be in charge! What was wrong with Chu Little Yan? If he wasn't afraid of pushing Chu Yanzhang away, he wouldn't have kissed him for so long.
Not only did they steal the first confession, but they also stole my first kiss and my second kiss!
Also, aren't Chu Little Yan's lips a little too soft...?
" Zhouzhou, I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself, you're so cute."
Xie Zhuzhou was speechless and helpless. "... Your eyes may have post-operative complications."
The two of them picked only half a basket of strawberries by noon.
Wen Shuming: "..."What did you do in my strawberry garden!
Seeing their rosy lips and serious expressions, Wen Shuming didn't know what to say. Looking at his seemingly obedient boss, he hesitated, then finally said helplessly in a low voice, "The people around here haven't seen much of the world, you two should restrain yourselves."
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhuzhou's eyes widened. They had only kissed; was it really that obvious?
Then he turned his head and saw that Chu Yanzhang's lower lip was slightly red and swollen, and the skin was broken.
"..."
He blushed deeply, hurriedly ate lunch, and went to take a nap. Chu Yanzhang really wanted to sleep with him, but Zhouzhou wouldn't allow it, so he could only take the notebook that Wen Shuming had brought.
"It's Sunday today, why did you bring your computer!" Chu Yanzhang was dissatisfied with his subordinate, his eyes filled with displeasure, showing his unwillingness to work.
"Boss, Young Master Xie likes ambitious men. Look at the Ji Family, everyone works hard and rarely late or absent. Someone like you... probably doesn't have much charm. After all, the wealthy circles are never short of good-looking rich people."
Chu Yanzhang frowned slightly, "Really?"
"Of course, you're only nineteen and don't have the charm of a mature man, but hard work can make up for it."
Chu Yanzhang asked, puzzled, "Why does it have to be so mature? But Zhouzhou doesn't like older men."
Wen Shuming: "..."
"I've observed that Zhouzhou likes people like me," Chu Yanzhang said confidently.
Wen Shuming covered his face, thinking that this boss was really hard to manage; not only was he rebellious, but he was also a hopeless romantic.
They desperately need a mature and stable boss, preferably one who will voluntarily work overtime!
Wen Shuming and Wu Chang also wanted to give up, but what could they do when money was so irresistible? The boss could give up, but they couldn't afford to be lazy!
"By the way, boss, if you're working overtime, we'll sign you up for ' Sunset Island.' Young Master Xie is also on that show, didn't he tell you?"
Chu Yanzhang: "I already knew that, but you can't be too clingy." He seemed to be sticking to Zhouzhou all day long; he really liked Zhouzhou's helpless yet proud demeanor.
"Half of the people on this show are Young Master Xie's enemies! Aren't you worried about Young Master Xie's safety?"
Chu Yanzhang's expression immediately turned serious. "Go and register now!"
"But the company..."
"You've worked two days overtime, stop talking nonsense and get going." Any later and it'll be too late!
Upon hearing this, Wen Shuming suppressed the urge to smile and said, "Okay." In fact, he had already registered his boss and called the program team from the beginning.
